Absolutely not. Should have gone for it on 4th and a foot. BC needs to score TDs, not FGs to win. FSU hads not stopped the run all day. Getting a TD there puts them up 21-3, and that could get in FSU's head. A FG still makes it only a 2 possession game. Even if they missed, FSU would have been pinned deep. And as I write this, FSU scores quickly to make it a 1 possession game. Horrible call.

I was joking about the Spaz cushion. I do think we have to play the long ball and force them to dink and dunk. We have given up 2 huge pass plays which led to 10 points so we may have to give up the short stuff to prevent the devastating big plays.

I'm upset about them blowing the lead but if you asked me last night if BC would score 17 points against this team, I would have told you that you were nuts. This could very well end up being a 42-17 game, especially after Jimbo makes his adjustments, but at least we won't get embarrassed a la USC.

21 straight points. Ouch! It just seems like the last 5 years have been nothing but misery for BC. You are always expecting the worst instead of the best. Then again, we are only down 7 to a top 10 team.

What angers me, though, is the 3 straight runs rather than throwing caution to the wind and going for it. You don't have the tlent to go toe to toe with these guys. You have nothing to lose. Why not execute your 2-minute offense and at least get 1 first down to keep their explosive offense off the field?

I wanted to see a fake field goal on that 4th and inches. I don't believe BC has run a special teams fake in over 5 years so that would have been the time to try it. Those 3 points mean absolutely nothing to us now.

Those 3 points don't mean anything right now. Had they gotten a TD, they would still only be down by 3 though. And the FG decision changed the entire game and all the momentum. BC went into a conservative shell after that and FSU destroyed them.

If Florida State scores again, I'm thinking we will be forced to abandon the run and go to the passing game to try to catch up. Another theory is to keep running to kill time and make the bleeding slow. I don't want us to abandon our game plan yet, but if we get down by another TD, we need to open up to try to get back in it.

Last year this game would have been a 52-3 by now. Kudos to Daz to coaching these guys up & keeping them fighting against the #8 team in country. I don't think anyone would have thought it would be a 14 pt game at beginning of 4th qtr.

If he can find a few athletes to plug in at the skill positions, I like our chances in next few years.

I know we are getting out butts kicked, but it seems different than the past 4 years. There is a little more fight in these guys and you get the sense that they are going to give effort until the bitter end. It seems like they believe in the vision of this coaching regime and I am becoming hopeful that we might somehow muster 4 more wins for a bowl slot.

And give Daz some talent and look out. You are within striking distance of a top 10 team with a bare cupboard and coming off a disastrous 2-win season. Once he gets his players to come into this system, BC should set and achieve higher goals. He is just a few skill players short of being competitive.

Very disappointing finish. They lose by 14. The TD at the end of the first half and the abysmal interception for a TD were unforgiveable and hard to believe. You can't make any mistakes against FSU. They will drive that burning lance through your nose. The injury to 45 (Mahdi) was a dirty hit by O'Leary, the tight end. He should have been ejected. However, FSU just overpowered BC the second half. There are big problems with the d backs.

Was at the game and the environment of the stadium changed after that FG. You go from tightening the screw to looking like some quitters. The WHOLE GAME turned on that play. We were a shell after that and got steamrolled.

Then, on the long TD, no one knew what was going on. Half the players looking at the clock, heading to locker room, anything but what they should have been instructed to do, which should have been for about FOUR of them to park themselves in the end zone and wait for the hail mary to get tossed up to one of those monster WR's. I'd have taken the staff calling a TO on defense and parking half the team in the endzone and rushing 2 than that mockery of a defense. Complete breakdown.

Then, just as they needed to tack on some more points to keep pressure on, they switch to some WR screen nonsense 3 plays in a row. This team isn't Villanova that we're playing. Their defenders were bigger, stronger, and faster. They blew by blocks and from what I recall they all went for negative yardage, followed by about a 30 yard punt. Would a normal play action be too hard to mix into this screen collection?

I feel for the players, because they left it all on the field, and played their hearts out, (if someone told me before the game we'd put up 30 I'd have laughed) but the coaching was Spaz-esque for 3 quarters. Everyone knows FSU is going to put up points, if you have a 4 and inches on the 4, you best damn well go for it because you will need those points, and it came back to bite them today. Good job players. I hope the coaches get their acts together.
